Summary: Just Garbage
Review: Typical preconceived conclusions hidden thinly behind the author's own elaborately constructed fantasy. No foot notes. No source material. No substatiation or support of his views. It reminded me of a debunker's book on UFO's although the scholorship was not as good. It amazes me to what lengths this "author" goes to construct his very own myth. No Christian "mythmaker" could match him!

Don't waste your time with this. There are far more balanced texts available. This book seemed more constructed to impress the author's eastern liberal establishment friends than to credibly address the subject.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you like Bible mysteries also read new Proverbs book.
Review: Who Wrote the New Testament is a fascinating and indepth exploration of the roots of Christianity. Various early groups are discussed such as the Q people who initially viewed Jesus as a Cynic-like sage which they expanded to role of a prophet and ended as the envoy of divine wisdom & the son of God. The Thomas people thought of themselves as true disciples of Jesus. Their text was the Gospel of Thomas and their view was that the Kingdom of God is inside you and is already present. The scripture read by the Jesus School was the Gospel of Mark. They thought Jesus reinterpreted the Torah. If you enjoy Bible mysteries THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE BOOK OF PROVERBS by Cody Jones unveils surprising new revelations on authorship on Old Testament books of Proverbs, Isaiah, Song of Songs and Job. The identitiy of King Solomon's secret ghostwriter for the book of Proverbs is unveiled for the first time in any commentary. Many other mysteries and riddles of Proverbs and the Old Testament are explored with surprising new answers.
